THE LONDON JOURNALS. rm otructsjivm the Morning Pverip,Aprit4,lB26 [MORNI NO- CHRONICLE.] The general opinion ,seems to be that Mr. Soundry, in lois recent operations,, has committed an uopardonable sin against English morality. Ile ought to have gone about the business in a more, decorous manner, and associated with him self two or three Lords, or, at least, a dozen or two of Members of Parliament, and Bank Direc tors, whose co-operation would insure the suc cess of any ingenious plan. These solitary at tempts * preyin g on the public, are highly dis cretPtable, and must be discouraged. There Is the less excuse for Mr. Goundry, that Members of Parliament have never shown the least reluc lance to aid any deserving citizen, who could satisfy them of the feasibility of any plan for transferring the property of others to themselves on a scale sufficiently large to remunerate all parties. Besides, it is not doing justice to the Learned Profession. No fact is better esta blished than that, if there be but enough of money to spend, the law is quite adequate to the protection of the most desperate plunderers. It is, therefore, a downright slight to the profes sion to,attempt doing the thing on a scale which will not afford enough for their remuneration. It might put it into the heeds of inexperienced per sons, that the law is weaker for the protection of fraud-than it actually is. The old -fable of the handle of sticks will now be out of date. Mr. Goundry stands alone, and therefore he will be easily overpowered. It is in union that mankind appear to due advantage. Nay, even the wolves have the sense to go in bands when they are in quest of prey. The solitary individual labours under great disadvantages. A multitude em bolden each other, and a host of friends and con nections are at hand with sympathy and aid, in the way of evidence and otherwise. In a country like this, where associates in any feasible plan may always be obtained in abundance, it is, the very height of imprudence to neglect acting with friends. We fear Mr. Goundry is , destined to afford a double triumph to the law. He will give the venerable Judges of the land an oppor tunity of boasting its effiency to reach offenders ; and be will, at the same time, be pointed to as an instance of a man who might have been saved by Its well-meaning tenderness, had lie only known how to go p ro p er ly t o wor k. , NOttNINO 'mused)] While Mr. Peel is engaged in the useful task of reforming the Criminal Lew' we cannot help suggesting how no less laudable it would be, could some means be devised to lessen 'the number of those who now fall within its grasp unavoidably, and owing to little or no original fault of their own. We allude in particular to the mass of juvenile offenders who now crowd our streets at Well as our prisons, some of whom are actually trained up to a career of vice by parents who subsist by the plunder of their offspring, and others who are cast upon the world by ac cident, design, or negligenee, and who fall into dishonest paths, as much from neces slty as inclination. We know that it would afford a dangerous inducement to this WI• natural indifference among parents, were it mice understood that the State would adopt the children whom they abandon; at the same time it will not ad:oit of a question that it must be the duty, as well as the interest of the State, to rescue from inevltahle.destructine those who are thus thrown either upon its bounty or its yen. geance ; and that the Sts to which neglects to do ig partakes its some degree of the original fault of the parents. The Marine Society hall done wonders in this respect. The Philan thropic Society , too, and the Refuge for the Des titute, are excellent in their way, but their meet's are totally insufficient to answer the increasing demands upon them ; and of our Courts of J ustice, especially those in the m e t ro p o li s , are t herefore constrained again and again to turn loose the lame delinquents upon society, who, they well knew, have no resource but to return to habits which mays in the end, fix them with a degree of guilt sufficient to subject them at once to the ven settees, of the laws, and with it the protection of .society. We wonder that the Society for Pro moting Prison 'Discipline does not turn its atten tion to this subject. We have no doubt but that means might be devised of providing for many wore of those helpless , and unfortunate children, an 4 at the same time of punishing the parents of such as desert them ishout a cause. And seeing what the Mari .1. Society effects with its limited funds, we cannot help thinking that the fisheries and other mutitime sources of the country might be called in aid, to convert into a hardy and useful race those who now perish by premature disease, or the more slow and demoralizing influ ence of crime and its certain consequences. E.ritE TIMES.] 'rite public are not generally aware that the Order in Council, which a short time since pro. Whited the exportation of arms and ammunition from this country, expired in the course of last week. The Order was to be in force during six nfooths only from the 30th of September, 18125, and no renewal of it has yet taken place, nor is it understood that any intention is entertained by Ministers of reviving it 1 . a =hint havi ng b een 'conveyed to the Custom.liouse that at present no measure is contemplated. We are told, i n conseqUeoce„ that the spirits of all who imme. diately interest themselves about the , affairs of t s r i.eL pece h ave ()pen a good deal enliven e d b y t hi s cirrutnstatnce—oot so much, we suppose, from any great incryoe to the existing means of transport. tog warlike stores to the A rchipeittgooloc e they tti;*gitt 1111 along he conveyed from other countries more c'entignous to the >ivette of action than Eng; JAW, as (win the approxinonlioo of feeling th us the British Governm en t apparently ex hibited by ione'tiuse of Greek independence. If it had been true that the Ordei in Council proceeded from n hostile: spirit towards the Greeks, there might grociud for lorerring a qualification of unit spiettrom the permission or the ill-omoned order to die without an effort forits renewal, but in the delicate and embarassed state in which stood abotst that .period our diplomatic telations at Con. stantin6ple, it is more than probable that some show of solicitude for the interests, or at least for the pride and suspicions or the Turks, Was necessary towards the maintenance of ourascen. dancy over the Ottoman councils ; and more so, if the influence by such means secured was to be employed in serving the ultimate objects of the insurgent Christian Power. As Mr. Canning has not yet made known to the public, in any manner which would justify an argument upon the mat. ter of fact, what point the Greek question has now arrived at in his discussions with the Conti. nental Governments, or to what extent a direct interference of the States of Christendom be tween the Greeks and their oppressors has been agitated and resolved upon by the conjoint Courts of Europe, we shall! con tent ourselves with merely assuming, that England finds herself more prepared to dictate a certain course of policy to the Turks than formerly when she was compelled to manage the Porte with one hand, and St. Petersburgh with the other—that in short, reserve and forbearance may henceforth be laid aside, and the law laid , down alike for Turk and Tartars, with sufficient penalties for the violation of it, to be inflicted hoy the arbitrating Powers. The Divan, it seems, have begun to scent a feeling or intention on the part of our Government more adverse to them than to the insurgents. The visit of Mr. Stratford Canning to Ifydra, and his interviews, however innocent, with certain Greek authorities t have not escaped the animadversions of the Seraglio. Indeed a public reception afforded by the Minister of a ' friend lySovereign to the prinripal members of what the Ottomans are amply countenanced by the doctrines of Christian States in regarding as a band of outlawed rebels, could scarcely fail to draw down remonstrances, and could be but iu completely masked by the apology that a lady's health was to supersede all other considerations, and that the wife of our Plenipotentiary requir ed the presence of her husband at the seat of the rebel Government to restore her. Never. theless, we think it possible that a very few weeks may serve to place the general politics of the East and North of Europe in a clearer light than the people of England have been enabled to observe them in for some years past. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Yesterday a young lady entered the office in a state of much agitation, and requested some advice or assistance in the case o f a daring robbery that had been committed on. her a few minutes before. The lady stated, that as she was passing along Great Russell-street, Bloomsbury, with her reticule sus petaled by a steel chain hanging from her arm, she was sud denly surrounded by a gang of juvenile thieves, who hustled her of the foot pavement; and one of them seizing her reticule, snatched it with such force from, her arm, that the chain snapped in two, and they made off with the reticule, leaving a• piece of the chain behind, and ran in diffinent directions towards St. Giles's. She pursued the thief who snatched the reticule as well as she could, tintil she got into Dyot-mreet, now called George.street, whe re ho disappeared; and finding herself , to a labyrinth of filthy courts, alleys, &e., she was so much al anted, t h at she dreaded proceeding further, and it was with difficulty She could find her way out again. She told the cir commence to a gentleman she met, who advised her to come to this office. The reticule she said contained eight sovereigns, besides a written order for a sum of money, payable to herself, . ' and some other private papers together with a pocket hendker chief. Balland, th e officer wile attended to the lady's state ment, assured her that it would be to as little purpose to go at that Moment in search of those young thieves in the mazes of St. Giles's, as it would be to hunt for a needle in a bundle of hay; he, however, took from the lady an accurate description ' Of the thief who snatched the reticule from her arm, for the purpose of setting on foot a sharp lookout after him ; and in the mean time the offi cer a d v i se d t h e lady to make no delay in sending notice to stop the payment of the order for money she had lost. Just as the office was on the point of closing, a diminutive little female, apparently 80 years of age, and a very unin viting person and countenance, entered, accotnpanied by a man neatly six fees In height, and of a most awfully forbidden as. petit, and approaching the bench, addressed the Magistrate thus—" Please your worship, I want to know from your wor ship, If a marriage celebrated in a private house in Dublin, by an Irish Roman Catholic priest, be a lawful and binding mar riage in this country, because, your worship, I believe it Is not ?" The Magistrate inquired if the officiating person was a regu larly ordained clergyman of the Roman Catholic Church 't The applicant said, that she could not herself answer that question, hut, added she, " I believe this good man by my side can,—was he john ?" turning to her companion. Yes," replied John, with a grunt. The little woman now bustled about her pockets for some time, and at length produced a little bit of dirty paper s which she handed to th e M ag i strate , stat i ng i t to be the certificate of the aforesaid marriage, signed by the priest. The Magistrate, very naturally thinking that she was trou bling herself all this time about her own affitirr, asked if that was the certificate of her marriage ? " Lord bless your worship," said she, at not at all : it was not the that was married, but this good man here" (pointing to liar sullen friend by her side, who stood with his eyes fixed upon the ground, and his brows most luxuriantly overhanging them.) " The case is this," she proceeded. " this good dear man, your worship, who has a h an d some pens i on, married a woman in Dublin, n the way I mentioned, and she is coming over now to c'aim half of his pension as his wife ; and I want, you see, your worship, to prevent her if you can from imposing un the poor man, because I um sure the marriage knot lawful." The Magistrate, who until thi s ti me t h oug h t the applicant was pleadirl in ter own behalf, now wished to have some explanialon front the pensioner himself, who stood like a mute by his advocate's side, es to the olkiect of this inquiry; and accordingly asked him what was his motive for wishing to anceitain if hie marriage in I re l an d were l ega l or otherwise. " Why, because," replied the pensioner, now for the first time lifting up his downcast brow, " You see, if that ere marriage of mine in Dublin be no good, 1 wants to marry again immediately this ere little woman by toy side." The Magistrate said, he suspected there was something more titan saving his f'riend's pension for him in the view of the applicant, from the extraordinary zeal she manifested in the cause, anti cold her, that a magistrate Was not the proper person to give an opinion on or decide if the marriage she spoke of were or were not legal : but advised her, if the ques tion were one which concerned her very deeply, to apply . to Doctors' Commons, where she would h e Most Ma y to obtain a clear opinion on the point. d ' Then," said th e l itt l e womans as she retired with a disappointed countenance from the Whey, " the poor man will loose half his pension,3 ant afraid." The gentleman who is the complaisant in the case of the steam-packet-office is M r. Addison, late. of the Dragoon Guards, and nut of the Foot Guards- MA It YLE NE.OFFICE. Yesterday Ernino Waters, a young woman of ilashing ap pearance, was brought to thin office from the watch-house, in the custody of Stowell, the officer, charged with having corn. twitted tin assault upon him in the execution of' his duty, and siding in the escape of her husband, against whom the officer had a warrant fur obtaining goods under false pretences. The case excited seine interest, and the office was crowded by individuals who had charges to make against the prisoner's husband, had Stowell been suCcessful in his apprehension. Stowell was sworn; and he stated that a warrant had been ranted about one m ont h ago, to apprehend the pr i soner ' s hus band (IL B. Waters), who was'chnrged with Laving obtained propertY under rabic pretences from Mr. Cripps; bird-cage ' maker; of Piccadilly. Witness had since made every' in (inky af ter him, and at length traced him to a house in Drummond:street, Somers-town,' where he proceeded in order to execute hi s warrant on Saturday night last, about 9 o'clock. ' On his arrival there he watt not at-home but he 'waited for hint three hours, wh en he tottered the place with the prisoner. 1 Witness asked hitn whether his name wet Waters ;" hesald it Iva- not, his mane was " JOhnSUil." Witness then asked hint if he knew AD. Cripps, of Ph:cuddly' to which he replied that "he did not." Witness then intimated that he had no doubt from the information lie received, but he was the indivi dual named in the warrant, which he presented to him ; and on jiuttkOg ' further questiGnis.he inlid . that the p r i soner a t t h e bar was named Waters" but his name was Johnson ; he. had no connexion with her, and at his peril to take him in custody. Witness replied,, that he was ready to run all risk, and it was his duty to take him in custody. He then request ed-witness to walk in the back-parlour, which he did, anti he there confessed that he knew the nature of the complaint against him, and begged of him not to execute the warrant, at the same time offering him money or any thing else, if he would suffer him to escape justice. NVitness said, he could not consent to any thing of the kind • he had only one d u ty t o perform—that of taking/14n before the magistrate. He then requested permission to go tip stairs to do something before he was taken to the watch-house. Witness allowed him to do so, % but followed him, and waited until he returned with him to the back parlour, where the prisoner was standing be fore the fire-place, and the parlour window, which was shut be fore, was now open. On entering the room, they had not been there a moment when the female (the prisoner) rushed upon witness in the most violent manner, and seized him by the silk handkerchief round his neck, of which she laid tight hold, squeezing her knuckles against his throat, and she exclaimed, " Now %%raters " and while sh e k ept her grasp, Waters made a spring and Clisappeared in an i nstant, shutting . the window after hue. Stowell called out watch, and. found it utterly im possible its release himself from her possession, and she thrust her hand upon his mouth to preventihis cries being heard. At length conceiving th a t t h e bi rd had flown su ffi ciently far to avoid legal grasp, she let go ' • but the o ffi cer f oun d t h at t h e whole of the doors had been locked (a remedy to doubt con ceived by this heroine during their absence up stairs, to secure the escape of her husband), an d h e had some difficulty in getting out. Mr. RAWLINSOW—Did the prisoner know you were an officer ? Stowell answered " Yes." Mr. RAWLINSON—Did you produce your warrant and staff? Stowell—l did, and she saw them. Mr. Rawi.rstsosr asked her what she had to !lay for herself.. The prisoner, who stood at the bar with her muff before her, said, in a very pert s tyl e , " I d eny having struck the o ffi cer or seized him. I also deny having put my hand upon his mouth. He almost pushed me down before I touched him." Stowell denied this, and repeated that she seized him, and gave the signal to Waters to go out of the window immediately afterwards. Mr. Raw rawsosr asked whether he could have apprehended Waters with facility had not the prisoner been present ? Stowell-1 certainly could. The prisoner denied this, and said that he had escaped through the window before she laid hand* upon the officer. Stowell denied it. Mr. Raw LiNsow observed, that he could not but admire the spirit of a woman who would thus act in protection of her husband, and he thought it a pity to send her to prison, but however his private feelings might oper ate i n h er favour, there was a duty due t o the public, and it was necessary to protect their officers while In the just execution of their duty. He must call upon her to find buil. Mr. Craig, of Titchfield-street, Marylebone, here stepped forward and stated ? that Waters and t h e p r i soner l o d ge d i n his house f or some time, and they agreed to pay him quarterly. During the time they were there persons used to call with blue bugs, and appeared business-like men, and would consult in the most mysterious manner with Waters, and he (Mr. Craig) concluded that they were no better than they ought to be. in this opinion he was ultimately confirmed, for at the termina tion in the quarter Waters would not pay his rent, nor would he deliver up the keys ; but on quitting threatened witness with an action if he offered to force open his door in his absence. Ile not long ago took a place in Mortimer street, Cavendish square, under similar circumstanc es , and would not quit the place unless they forgave him the rent, Stowell traced him to various places, where he had acted in a similar war. Mr. liawuNsoie observed, that an old man who had been pursued by a butcher, came to the office on Saturday week, to ask protection, because he was charged in the street by the butcher with having swindled him. lie gave his name John. son, and said, his br o th er li ve d in Mortimer-street, but he would not tell the number. There might be a gang of them acting in this way. Shortly after tthemphe risoner was locked up, two persons came forward to offer selves as bail, when the following singular dialogue took place s Mr. RAWLINSON—Who are you, Sir 2—Mr. Thomas, of Horselydown, Mr., Rawurrsow told him that the bail would not be ac cepted unless very responsible. He Would Muchrather see this % tater* come forward, Ifhe wits innocent, than Fiend this spirited woman to prison ; b ut suc h should be the case If the ball was not good. Do you know Waters ? Yes. Mr. Ilawrawsore , ,.Then perhaps you can tell us who and whist he is ?.—I always thought him a tradesman. Mr. ILawrasieoN—Ay, but what sort of a tradesman 2—A tailor, Mr. RA WI.)

Who' re quested you to become bail 2—A Mr. Philips. M. ilawrasticist.—What is he P--He is in his Majesty's— the Last India Company's service. (After more questions, he said he was a respectable man.) Mr. Itawr.rusow then questioned the other, who said he was a mate of the fiellona merchant-ship. Mr. IlawLtsisoX.—And where is the ship ?—At Philaciel phia.

Mr. hawr,ixsow tiutioned them of the tisk they were about to run, and aunt Morris to make immediate inquiries as to their responsibility. 'UNION -HALL. Yesterday Josh. Nudism, of pugilistic celebrity, and two of his pails or eampanione, appeared at this office, before the sitting Alagistrate, R. J. CHAMBERS, Esq. charged with hav ing assaulted a whole room full ofcornpany, by dashing glassee of hot brandy and Water at their heads. Froth the statement of the landlord of the sign of the Europa tavern, in the Borough, it appeared th at J osh. and the other twoftleSendants entered his coffee-room on Saturday, and hay. ing punished two bottles of wine, besides sundry glasses of warm brandy and water, they commenced chaffing some of the company, who manifested their displeasure of such free dom, and requested that the defendants would keep their own company, and not disturb the hilarity that had previously reigned in the house. The defendants, however, became more and more troublesome, until at length the whole 'com pany became unanimously of opinion that the absence of Josh. and his tWQ friends could be well dispensed with, and for the purposre Of carrying their wishes into execution, with. out committing any breach of the peace, it was suggested to then that unless they could conduct themselves in a gentle manlike manner, they had better withdraw altogether from the house. No sooner wak the intimation given than the glasses of brandy end water then before the defendants were flung at 'the heads of those whit considered themselves insulted, and such a rumpus took pace that it was found necessary to call in some watchmen, to whom the three defendant s were g i ven in charge. A t'the conclution of the above statement, one of the parties who had been assaulted stepped forward, and said he had never seen Josh, in particular more " obstrapolitt" in hie life. His (Josh.'s) glass of brandy and water was particularly hot at the time, and witness received the greater part of it with much force on the left. aide of his face. Witness added,, that when Josh. was in custody, he was " mighty was bouncihl e ," r e _ fusing to make any apolo g y for the " row" he had created ; in wn and saying that he more independent than any !pen the parish--that he could s p ort more ~b lunt ;" and, in t aet, that he did not care it straw about any one, for he was hi s o master. The Magistrate here inquired whether the defendants were drunk during the above cirettinstances and viheilier they .had become so in the house where the assaults were committed; for if so, the landlord deserved severe censure. • The landlord of the Europa declared that Josh, and his compani ons wer e . tip s y wh en they came in ; that all he had served them with were two bottles of wine and a glass of hot brandy and water each, which latter was consumed in the way above stated. Josh., however, contradicted the last witness's statement, and said, h e could prove that, instead of two, nine. g l asses brandy and water followed the two bottles of wine, with the exception of the " little drop" diet was spilt during the affray that was tea Seriously represented to the magistrate, and which, in fact, the complainants were equally blameable those that had been charged. as Mr. CHAMBERS obierved, that this was a public-house squabble, and a s it appearedd - tliat Hudson and his friends wor e drunk at the time, he would fine them each ss. a.piece for that offence to tho King, besides half.a-crown to each of the 'con stables and watchmen who had the trouble of taking them into. custody, and bringing them to thie office. Josh—l . won't pay nothing, your Worship; I'd rather pat in, bail, and take it to t h e S essions. nor. CHAMBERS—I Ain also call upon each of you, the defendants, to p ay one sovereign a•Pi"a to some charity,' as a punishment for the assaults you have committed. . Josil - 4t is a hard cue sir , that us gentlemen should have To 'l'. TAYLOR, Esq. No. 9, New Bridge-street, London.

I can't afford it, Sir; really I cannot, Sir; and that is the truth. One of the complaining party, who had, got a soa ki ng w i t h the brandy and water, pressed forward, and addressing the Ma gistrate, said, " We s h a ll b e per f ect l y satisfied if Mr, Josh. and his friends pay a pound each to some charity. Mr. Hod son is well able to afford it. " God bless my soul," ejaculated the witness, " how very much crest-fallen Josh. is to-day ; one would think he was not the same man. On Saturday night he was as big as " bull beef," from his bragadosia, offering to lay down sovereigns against other men's shillings. He can well afford to pay for his fun." Josh.—" I von't pay, indeed I von't; I'll go to the Ses sion." _ Here aLawyer, who attended for Hudson, advised his client to be more calm, and settle the business in the way which the worthy Magistrate had decided. Josh., however, was unwill ing to pay his pound to a charity, or the ss. for getting drunk, until 31r. Chambers assured him it would be a cheaper way than going to law, A long discussion here arose between the parties, as the ap plication of the money intended for charitable purposes ; Josh. strongly contending for its being appropriated for the benefit of the Licensed Victualler' School, at Kennington, and the corn. plainants, on th e ot h er h and, for the charity school at !Other hithe. The latter mode was adopted, and the parties left the office. Josh. Hudson, from his appe arance now , seems to b e com pletely on the shelf. He cannot enter the ring again as a fighting man from hi s amaz i ng corpulency ; his head being, comparatively speaking, as large as a bushel, and both his fists like shoulders of mutton. A blow from such hands would now have no more effect, upon the countenance than if they were enclosed in the gloves. HA TTON-GARDEN. it QUEER C.a.sz.—Yesterday a smart, dapper personage, who gave his addiess as, Mr. (lobby, or (lobby, of the India House, came before Mr: L AING , to prefer a complaint a ga i ns t Mr. dinnenett, the landlord' o f the house, No. 12, Yardley street, Spatields. Mr. LAING asked the applicant what was the nature of the assault ? " Why (replied Mr. 0.) it is not exactly an assault—that is, there were no flows given." Mr. LAING.—Then what do you complain of ? Mr. G.—Of an insult—a most contumacious insult, which no man of honour could bear; but it Is not so much on my account that I claim redress as on that of a lady—a most respectable lady—who lodges Pro Import , in this person's house, and with whom I board. l'he fact is, that I remained in her apartment last night rather later than usual, and this person being some what superciliously correct in regard to his houses, thought proper to censure the conduct of my friend in no very measured terms, end she being deeply offended by his most unjust in. sinuations, mentioned it to me this morning, and I come here in consequence to procure a warrant for his apprehension. 11r. LAING._Then, Sir, I fear you must go away without one—we do not grant warrants on any such foolish grounds of complaint. Mr. (lobby.—Then, Sir, how am 1 to seek redress?

Mr. (Johl;;.- -- The man's situation in life prevents my de manding other satisfaction. ..1 am, therefore, compelled to have recourse to law. Mr. Luria—l'll hear no more about it. Mr. Ciobby—lteally this is very hard. The applicant here turned round in despair, when the person of whom he was complaining entered the office. to the great sur. prise of Mr. Gobby, who exclaimed—." This is the fellow, your worship.", Mr. 'Alinnenett then advanced to the bar, and explained to the Magistrate, that the reason why he objected to the young gentleman's lengthened visit to his lodger, was because she was a married woman, and her husband being abroad, he (Mr. M.) did not consider it quite decorous that she should entertain male visitants until one or two o'clock in the morning. He had therefore told the lady that she should quit the house, unless the practice was discontinued, and when this was mentioned to Mr. (lobby, he flew into a violent rage, and made use of some very abusive language, upon which he, not liking to submit to such treatment in his own house, very quietly took the little champion of inju r ed 'i nnocence by the neck, and thrust him into the street. The Magistrate comnsended Mr. Minnenett for what lie had done, and told him th a t h e was per f ect l y j ust i f i ed In preserving regularity in his house. Mr. (lobby—But, Sir, may not a lodger have the privilege of receiving her friends, without being subject to the insolent ca lumny of a landlord ? Mr.laitwo—Certainly, at proper h ours ; b ut a f ema l e who has any regard for her character, would scarcely permit a man to continue in her apartments to such late hours as appears to have been kept up this occasion. Mr. Minnenett said, thet.he had no objection to the lady re. ceivlng it visitor, in a proper manner, until eleven o'clock, but not later, certainly. The Magistrate said, he was perfectly right. Mr. (lobby did not seem to relish this arrangement, but having no redress, he withdrew. In about an hour afterwards, however, he was brought back in the custody of a constable, having created a riot in Mr. Minnenett's house, who immediately gave him in charge. The poor little gentleman's rage now knew no b oun d s, and he threatened to annitkiLiie the whole race of the Minnenett's.• Mr. Lai rut, after b ear i ng t h e complaint, said, he was very well inclined to hold him to bail. Mr. (lobby—Hold me to bail—me —me, Sir, for what ? Mr. Lai —. Yes, Sir, you —you, I say, for your impudence in disturbing this IlltieS house. Mr. (lobby—Really, Sir, you mistake; it is him you should hold to bail. I come hear to ask for redress, and if you are a (lentleman, you will give it to me. Nr. LAIN o—What do you say P flow dare you stand there, and insult the Bench ? But I will let you see, that you shall not do so with impunity. Unless you make a suitable apology, I shall commit you to prison forthwith. He was then taken out for the benefit of the cool air, which had the effect of bringing down the thermometer of his temper to the point of prudence. Ile was then again brought in, and after delivering a suitable apology, was discharged. LONDON MARKETS. PRICE OF BREAD.
